Changed out the tail lights with Raxiom 5's. Before and after.
What have you done to your mustang today?

Sorry to quote this old post, but came up in my search. On a recent drive I went over a pretty decent dip and received a nice "clunk" from the rear. Checked everything out when i got home and the driver side bump stop in completely missing. It was cut years ago when I lowered the car, and was probably just degraded enough to fall out. How did these stops end up working out for you? Did you stick with them or end up changing to something not Honda. ThanksYes, definitely a classic combo. When I first met my wife and she had just gotten it about 2 months earlier, she was telling me she wasn't in love with the white, I told her that's crazy, it's THE classic combo.
Also, I keep saying that if/when I get a GT500, it will have to be blue with white stripes, her exact opposite
Today I replaced the rear bump stops in my '13. I recently found that the left one had basically split open, broke apart or whatever. Guess I may have cut it down a bit too much and one too many bumps.

I went with Maximum Motorsports ones, which as it turns out are nothing more than Eibach pieces. When I googled the part number I came up with front Honda Civic applications. Interesting to think that I now have front Civic bumpstops in the rear of my Mustang. Not sure how I feel about that, lol

To install them you have to remove the old rubber pieces and insert the new MM/Eibach rubbers upsidedown. I sprayed the metal bracket with a little detail spray to make the insertion of the new stops much easier.

They're still in the car, still working.
No weird noises.
In fact I recently removed my Watts Link and went back to the adjustable panhard bar, and that in itself quieted things down a bunch more.
Love the ride now.
Still debating if I want to sell the BMR Watts Link though
FYI: I have seen yesterday that my yellow Ford Racing bump stops (I highly recommend installing them) turned into brown-red. Are they a wear item and need to be replaced at some time?
PS: Just found the cause of it: I installed Kevlar based brake pads instead of semi-metallic and the dust is brown. The FR bump stop compared to the OEM rubber has some more open cell structure and the dust get trapped inside.

Opened up and changed the cabin air filter. The area was super clean, but the filter was kinda dirty but I changed it.

Ordered a new grill for a slightly different look on my SGT. Also the OEM grill has a plastic surround that is warping. Ill post before and after...

Would that be the same part number I would use on a 07 SGT? Mine does not have much use but is the original...
Got the Baton installed today. WOW, what a difference. I've run short throw shifters in the past, always used Steeda Tri-Ax, but this is a whole new level. I swear half the time it doesn't feel like I'm fully in 1st gear because of how short it is. Love the feel and style of the flat stick.

You get the Barton Hybrid 3?

I like it LOW
Wing repainting turned into a bigger project than I anticipated.
No, it's just the standard GT shifter with a black flat stick and black ball on it.
Got the oil changed in my GT and the wife's Shelby, Fresh Amsoil 5w50 and new Motorcraft filter for both. Also new drain plugs for both, good thing I ordered them last time cuz mine rounded off big time.
The Shelby also got some fresh Amsoil transmission fluid, while mine got some fresh rear diff fluid.

No worries, it's fixed now .......
Got it sanded, filled, primered and base coat down yesterday. Shot the clear this morning and it's drying in the sun. Will cut and buff it tomorrow after work.
Have you used that before? I've been debating using some sound deadening in the trunk/doors/headliner area but have never used any in the past. Figured while I have the headliner out I could run the rear camera for the dashcam.
No, first time I've used it. I have enough more to do the cabin but won't tackle until I have time to strip it bare and do multiple projects at the same time. Tint R&R, speaker upgrades, rear-seat delete etc. I'll do inside doors and side panels, roof, firewall and floors.
It goes quickly with snap-off utility knife, straightedge and cut resistant gloves, (the foil can slice you up).
